Friday Fictioneersis hosted by the wonderful Rochelle, the undisputed master of what I call Sound Bite Fiction.
She sets the weekly challenge, and the standard.
This week’s thirst-quenching photo prompt comes courtesy of Priorhouse.
The idea, as always, is to write a story of around 100 words based on this picture, below.

There is always a queue.
What seems like a never-ending line of people, patiently waiting their turn.
There are old folk and children, men and women in their prime, some couples and some family groups.
I pour tea or coffee, milk or juice, for each of them.
They are unfailingly pleasant.
Most of them smile, with a friendly word which I barely acknowledge.
What do I have to smile about?
I scowl at their happy faces.
They are getting their just rewards.
They know where they are going.
I will be here forever.
One man’s heaven is another man’s hell.

Fascinating piece C.E. I can’t tell if he’s like a cult leader with evil intentions of making his followers suffer for some evil reason or malice. Or if this is like the reaper or death. taking people to where they deserve. Like the ferry boat ride to Hades. Well written as always my friend. And big hugs I haven’t given them in a long while 🙂

Laughing. You are a bad lady! But I don’t think that he can wander around with a bottle of Scotch, he is kinda restricted to his duties, that is his hell. As for your question, you are asking the wrong person, I just pour the coffee!

I can’t believe that both you and Björn managed to weave such miserable tales for your characters with something so happy and innocent as coffee as a starting point. I rather like how you both managed to break my expectation.

Last line is so true! Cool ‘other side of the fence’ story.
They serve great tea in heaven. That’s an incentive to be good & do good everywhere 🙂
Long queues for heaven means there are many good people in line! 🙂
